The House...

So to tell you a little about the house... it was built in 1919 (if we stay till 2019, we're thinking of throwing a centenial birthday party for the house!), it is situated as the only house on the corner of a huge park with 2 baseball fields, tennis courts, a basketball court, and a skate park. It is currently a 3 bedroom, 1 bath home (all on the ground floor); walk in (sub-height) basement (just barely too short for us to try and finish it into a usable space... we'd have to cut out and drop the floor to get more head room / or raise the rest of the house... and THAT'S not going to happen...) LOL.













As you enter the house, there are 2 bedrooms off the side of the living room and dining room. They share a Jack-and-Jill Closet, however the door on the second bedroom closet has been sealed shut! When you enter that second bedroom it looks a bit like a circus tent... (yeah... that's going to go...) and then to make things even more interesting, in order to get to the stairs to the attic, you have to go through that second bedroom. Why you'd want stairs to the second floor in a bedroom, I'll never know... but hey...
















Then, once you pass through the kitchen (which is mostly pretty nice, but only half finished - or as we found out later, half destroyed), there is a small mudroom before you go to the back porch, the third bedroom to the very back, the stairs to the basement, and then the bathroom.




















I've heard mixed things about the former owners... apparently he was an expert at concrete, and did a beautiful job with the exterior walkways and flower beds...






However inside, it was like he was learning how to do molding from watching YouTube videos. No, I take that back, you could learn more about molding from YouTube videos...


Regardless, when we walked through the house, we IMMEDIATELY saw it bursting with potential.

The biggest surprise was the full size attic that was completely empty... A blank canvas, just waiting to be finished into a master suite!!
